Mezcal & Jazz Night at Sorbito, Stoke Newington London

On a warm London evening, Sorbito at 178 Stoke Newington Road becomes a compact stage for Mezcal & Jazz Night, a spirited pairing of smoky agave spirits and live improvisation. Located in Stoke Newington, London, England, this booking guarantees a comfortable seat in the tasting room for an event that opens to the public from 1pm, with music starting at 7.30pm.

The program is simple and satisfying: two 45-minute sets with an intermission, performed by Jazz FM Award-winning trumpeter Dylan Jones alongside double bassist Hamish Nockles-Moore. The room is intimate by design—seating is limited—so advance booking secures you a spot where the sound breathes around wooden tables and glasses catch low light. The hosts offer a curated variety of mezcal, each bottle chosen to reveal different agave profiles, from vegetal and green to smoky and mineral.

What makes this night stand out is the pairing of craft mezcal with musicians who read the room. Dylan Jones’s trumpet lines and Nockles-Moore’s bass underpin songs that swing, rub against silence, and leave space for tasting notes to land: citrus peel, charred agave, wet stone. The interplay between drink and music makes the venue itself part tasting bar, part listening room, offering a different way to experience both London’s nocturnal culture and the craft spirits scene.

Practical details are straightforward. The event is 18+; the house opens early, so you can arrive for small plates and a first tasting before the first set. The listing invites guests to 'stay as long as you like', making it an easy choice for a relaxed date night or a cultured evening with friends. Accessibility information and group-size limits are not provided; if you need accommodations, contact Sorbito directly.

Expect an intimate acoustic balance—trumpet highs will ride above a woody, close-miked bass—so conversation softens without being forbidden. Dress is casual; guests often favor smart-casual layers for London evenings. If you’re new to mezcal, ask staff for guided pours and tasting order; presenters on site are practiced at explaining agave regions and production styles, which deepens appreciation without pretension.

Why visit? For those who appreciate both focused listening and exploratory tasting, this evening compresses the pleasures of a jazz club and a spirits bar into a compact London experience. It’s a chance to hear award-winning musicians up close while sampling mezcal styles that are still emerging on the U.K. scene. Book early to guarantee a comfortable seat and arrive prepared to trade cocktail chatter for close listening during the sets.

Sorbito’s Jazz Night is more than entertainment: it’s a local event that highlights Stoke Newington’s evolving food-and-music culture, blending imported agave tradition with London's independent music circuit. Meeting point: Sorbito, 178 Stoke Newington Road, N16 7UY.

About The Sin Gusano Project

The Sin Gusano Project is a London-based specialist that curates focused tastings and events dedicated to agave spirits, including mezcal and tequila.

The project offers public masterclasses, seasonal thematic sessions, ticketed pairing evenings, and private, small-group tastings led by experienced hosts. Events take place in London venues and in private-home settings when noted, presenting rare bottles, vintage expressions, and producer-driven selections.

Signature experiences include introductory tastings that explain the differences between tequila and mezcal, region-focused masters like the Mexican Road Trip, terroir-driven sessions that reveal how land and production shape flavour, and limited-seat events such as vintage Ocho tequila tastings.

Seasonal and celebratory gatherings—New Year’s Eve early and late sessions, cheese and mezcal pairings, and inaugural meetings with guest experts—extend the calendar offering.

The Sin Gusano Project works with recognised figures from the agave world; sessions feature hosts such as Jon, who conducts private tastings of exceptional mezcals, and guest experts including Gaby Moncada and Jesse Estes at curated events.

Reservations, ticket terms, and venue hours are communicated per event; for example, some sessions note that Sorbito closes at 10 pm. Refund and booking policies are set per offering, including refundable first-drink terms for certain reservations.

Focused on education and exploration, The Sin Gusano Project combines carefully selected spirits, storytelling, and guided tasting technique to help attendees deepen their appreciation for agave drinks. Attendees range from curious beginners to experienced collectors seeking rare mezcal and tequila perspectives, with tickets and capacity limited for more attentive, educational tastings and thoughtful conversation.
